Politics of The Mask

[TPD]

My daughter went to National Harbor last weekend. No problems at the restaurants, hotel, or casino as far as masks go (she paid to much for alcohol apparently at one of the bars in MGM), but when she went to the outlet center, she said every store had a sign on the door stating masks required per county code. She was able to go in every store without a mask except Famous Footwear - they made her put one on. Does PG county still require masks?

She also said the Uber driver would not allow her in the car till she masked. She argued with him. She lost.

Every one of these hypochondriacs should bear a tattoo on their forehead for identification purposes and for the rest of their lives have three masks stapled to their faces 24/7.

Pennsylvania judge boots 5 Dems from school board over mask mandate​

A Pennsylvania judge ordered five school board members who voted at the beginning of the school year to make masks mandatory to be immediately removed from office.

The order is a result of a parent-filed petition to the West Chester Area School District back in February, according to public media organization WHYY. One of the parents, Beth Ann Rosica, argued that under the Pennsylvania school code districts have no authority to require students to wear masks.

The five removed were all the Democrats. The lawyer representing them, Kenneth Roos from Wisler Pearlstine, LLP, said they submitted a motion for reconsideration of Judge William Mahon's order Tuesday night. The group anticipated it would be accepted for filing Wednesday morning.

The board opted to continue requiring masks after Pennsylvania's state of emergency first ended in June 2021. It kept the decision in place two months after the Pennsylvania Supreme Court declared the mandate unconstitutional in December.

The decision from the Court of Common Pleas "states that the removal of the board members named in the petition was a ‘procedural result’ and does not address any of the allegations made in the complaint" a statement from Superintendent Dr. Robert Sokolowski reads. "Special counsel to the district is in the process of preparing a substantive response on behalf of those school board members named in the petition."

Angry mom who confronted Adams on toddler mask mandate fired from city job​

The Big Apple mom who crashed Mayor Eric Adams’ press conference Monday to blast him over his tot mask mandate was fired shortly afterward from her job at the city Law Department, The Post has learned.

Daniela Jampel, who served as an assistant corporation counsel, learned she was canned less than an hour after she confronted a caught-off-guard and apparently annoyed Adams over when he would “unmask our toddlers.”

Jampel had publicly challenged the mayor at an unrelated event on LGBTQ issues — as Adams stood in front of a podium banner that read, “Come to the city where you can say whatever you want.’’

“Three weeks ago, you told parents to trust you that you would unmask our toddlers,” Jampel told the mayor.

Just hear on the radio the CDC recommended extending the travel mask requirement another 15 days to May 3rd.

I swear they did that knowing that I have to fly out to San Diego the 1st week in May.

Take a 1 pound bag of sunflower seeds and eat them one at a time about half a minute apart. Should last you all the way.

Take a 1 pound bag of sunflower seeds and eat them one at a time about half a minute apart. Should last you all the way.

And after eating a pound of sunflower seeds put the mask on your butt in case you can't make it to the bathroom in time when you land.

Late yesterday afternoon, The Washington Post published an op-ed by CNN’s TV doctor and former Planned Parenthood president Leana Wen headlined, “Opinion: Now Is Not The Time To Reinstate Mask Mandates.”

What??

Yes. Wen criticized Philadelphia for re-imposing its mask mandate on Monday. She said “it was premature for the local government to reimpose a mask requirement. Other cities should not follow suit.”

More Real World Data Confirms Masks Are Useless​

Here’s how the data looks:




The concise summary is that there is virtually no difference in likelihood of testing positive based on mask wearing in the UK.

The underlying data provided in the survey shows how useless mask wearing is in greater detail, as they’ve helpfully provided a breakdown of the sample sizes and results in the different categories.

Of the 28,942 adults surveyed who “always” wore a mask, 7%, or 2,020 tested positive.

Of those who indicated masks were “not needed,” 3,962 out of 66,545 tested positive, which is 5.95%.

The “sometimes” category resulted in a 7.3% positive testing rate, 1,073 out of 14,671, and the “never” group had an identical 7.3% percentage.

Similarly, among children, 164 of the 2,643 in the “always” wore masks designation tested positive, a rate of 6.2%. The “sometimes” category had 125 positives out of 2,446, which is a rate of 5.1%.

Compared to the reference group, those that “always” wore masks, both school aged children and adults had nearly identical results.

For example, the group of children who “never” wore masks were just as likely to test positive as those who “always” wore masks.

Masks don’t work.

Similarly, adults who worked or attended school in settings where masks were “not needed” were less likely to test positive than those who “always” wore masks in those same settings.

Masks don’t work.

Those who only wore masks “sometimes” had no significant difference either way.

Masks don’t work.
